KX2 and WKmini
Locked
 
|
Folks:
I recently bought a WKmini to use for portable operation. In reading the documentation, it turns out that the cable supplied that goes from the OUT port of the WKmini to the key jack on the KX2 keys the tip with the code, but use the ring to do a PTT function. I'm fine with QSL on the KX2, so I don't need this. And in fact, the KX2 will key when either the ti or ring is engaged by the WKmini. Experimenting with the MacWinKeyer.app, there is a selection to turn off the PTT function, and that works nicely. I had hoped that exting the program would leave that setting in the "no PTT" mode, but it is not to be. So is there a way that the KX2 can be convinced to only pay attention to the tip when the mode is set to "Hand" and not the ring? Thanks, w8lvn -- --w8lvn-- ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

I don't think so -- you'd need an adapter that just doesn't connect that

So is it true that the WKmini doesn't remember anything upon disconnecting?
